We're a 'provincial club' was a recent one I saw on swallowswallow.com - apparently no bigger than Blackburn Rovers. Oddly, Blackburn seem to be getting bigger gates than Rangers at the moment.
Blackburn won the premier League.
Forest won back-to-back European Cups - does that make them a bigger side than us?
Anyone who suggests we're a provincial club is just shooting themselves in the foot with a wildly subjective point. More so when Ibrox is getting about 14,000 for some home games these days.
To be fair, they are voting with their feet and not turning up which is something we could learn from as a fanbase
